Peer reviewedHolland, Paul W.; Wainer, Howard – Applied Measurement in Education, 1990

Cummings to adjust state mean Scholastic Aptitude Test Scores for differential participation rates with a "fuzzy truncation model" satisfies three criteria the authors previously defined but falls short for two. Omission of sensitivity studies mars the otherwise exemplary study. (SLD)
